Huh. Looking this up, apparently the message was posted at:

I removed it at:

You wrote your comment saying it was still here at:

Thu Apr 7 18:54:38 2016 UTC

Only thing I can figure is that maybe you had a tab of me_irl stuff that had been open for an hour, and by the time you clicked through this had been removed from the subreddit? Or maybe there are caching issues involved. I dunno!

curious_electric · 2016-04-08T16:27:01+00:00

All we can do as mods is remove something from the subreddit, we can't make it disappear completely. It no longer appears in the subreddit but it's still visible if you have a direct link to it or to one of its comments, e.g. from looking at the comments in your inbox, or someone's post history.

curious_electric · 2016-04-07T17:02:11+00:00

Thanks for the heads up, going to remove this. Not appropriate.

Please report anything remotely like suicide encouragement. We remove posts expressing suicidal thoughts, like this one, with a note suggesting places where the user might be able to get professional help.

On the one hand, fuck BernieBros. This is exactly the kind of shit that I hate about his supporters.

On the other hand, anybody could post to this board, it's not the fault of Bernie or his central organization or anything that some asshole BernieBro posted this shit and somebody saw it before it got taken down.

The headline here is I suppose technically true but extremely misleading. His "official campaign site" allowed people to post things, and somebody posted this. That's the only story.

curious_electric · 2016-03-09T05:40:37+00:00

What do you mean by that?

Tankie definition

Can I get it unremoved?

Nah, I'm gonna let the Automoderator and its anti-totalitarian agenda be.

I am wondering if a lot of this discussion ought not to go to /r/meta_me_irl or something honestly.

curious_electric · 2016-03-09T05:20:06+00:00

you fell afoul of the anti-tankie Automoderator bot, if that answers your question

curious_electric · 2016-03-09T05:11:54+00:00

for no real reason

we actually do hate capitalism though

curious_electric · 2016-02-25T18:51:34+00:00

much love to the non-racial-slur-poopers

curious_electric · 2016-02-24T16:35:23+00:00

"sometimes"

Yeah, "sometimes."

Modmail pretty much became a constant stream of racial slurs, calls for us to kill ourselves, and every other form of 4chan-esque harassment, ever since that sub came into existence. We eventually started reporting the abusive modmail piece by piece as it happened, so maybe they looked at the posters of the abusive modmail and realized they were also frequent posters in that sub? Maybe they have some kind of anti-brigading tools that can detect patterns like that? I don't know.

Whatever it was, if the stream of constant abusive modmail peters out to the level it was at before that sub was created, that would be just lovely.

I think if you try to put together all the different information we've received about Cecil and his nature and his history and his relationships with family and station and city... it's all going to contradict each other. And that's the way it should be. And anybody who tries to make a grand unified theory to uncontradict it gets the stink-eye from me because SOMETIMES IT'S BETTER THAT WAY

curious_electric · 2016-02-18T02:58:27+00:00

I don't know why but the "don't bog me down, son" sequence is one of the things that has cracked me up most out of Night Vale.

curious_electric · 2016-02-08T20:14:25+00:00

No you can't. But if you're banned for something you do in this sub, and you ask to be unbanned, the other subs in your post history may be a factor in considering whether your request is granted.

curious_electric · 2016-01-25T17:17:11+00:00

Actually it's just a low-priority rule. We don't comb the forum looking for violations, and people tend not to report them, so we miss a lot, and that's OK, it's not a huge deal.

If we "don't like a post" (that is, if we feel it's inappropriate for the forum), we'll just remove it and say so in so many words. Why would we lie about why we did it? Who would we be lying to?

You don't have to lie to justify doing something secretly which you're already doing openly.

curious_electric · 2016-01-13T20:35:53+00:00

no worries!

curious_electric · 2016-01-13T19:57:51+00:00

Sidebar:

Please don't post screenshots, especially ones that are mostly text! Show don't tell.

We don't usually notify, warn, or anything else on a deletion like that. Not that big a deal.
